Playing slowly can **** up your rhythm big time, because there's more room for error. I can't tell you how many times I've seen guys who can just shred their balls off, but if you ask them to play quarter notes at 40 bpm, they can't even come close.

I think even for playing slow speed is still the major issuehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEx1-k5TZSsthe piece is very slow, however it includes quite a bit of technique and movement that is incredibly difficult to get up to speed

^Yeah man! Eddie Hazel is one of the most under-appreciated guitarists around!

Yep, one of my favorites too (having revisited Funkadelic has reminded me of how awesome he was). I also recommend Andrew Latimer (from the band Camel ). Really great stuff that's not shred but really sings.

That piece actually isn't that hard to get down. At least for me it wasn't.

But anywho, I'm learning piano now and I could mess up a million times over playing the dinkiest little practice exercise and yet its easier to play rondo alla turka or Fur Elise.
